Google Tests “Smart Compose” for Chat in Messages App

Google is testing a new tool called “Smart Compose” inside its Messages app. This feature aims to help people write chat messages faster. It works while users type their messages. Smart Compose suggests words or even whole sentences automatically. The suggestions appear right in the chat box. Users can accept these suggestions with a tap. This saves time. Typing on phones can be slow.

This test is happening now. Only some users in the United States will see Smart Compose initially. Google is starting small. They want feedback. The company will watch how people use the feature. Google may change Smart Compose based on what they learn. A wider release could happen later.

Smart Compose uses artificial intelligence. It predicts what a user might want to say next. The AI looks at the words already typed. It also considers the chat conversation’s topic. The goal is relevant suggestions. Google wants the suggestions to feel helpful, not annoying. Users control the feature. They can turn Smart Compose off if they don’t like it.

Google already uses Smart Compose in Gmail. Bringing it to Messages makes sense. People chat constantly. Speeding up replies is useful. Google says user privacy is important. The company states chat content stays private on the user’s device for this feature. Suggestions happen locally. Personal data isn’t sent to Google servers for Smart Compose in Messages.

The test involves Android phone users. They need the latest version of the Google Messages app. Smart Compose appears only in one-on-one chats first. Group chats are not included in this test. Google did not say when Smart Compose might launch for everyone. The testing period length remains unknown.
